Hey! I was just listening to them!
That’s what I said when I received a press release today for The Lonely Forest’s digital-only EP to be released on Chris Walla’s (of Death Cab for Cutie) label Trans on September 14th. This Washinton-based band has taken to writing “brilliant pop songs featuring lyrics about spiritual longing wedded to an almost prog-rock sensibility.” In essence, they’re fantastic.
The EP is just a taste of what we’ll be getting in 2011 with their upcoming full-length Arrows and if this is any indication, you can count me in for that $9.99 on opening week!
